== Installing Omni ==
To install Omni, just follow the instruction at [http://trac.gpolab.bbn.com/gcf/wiki/QuickStart Omni Quick Start]. 
In more detail, install the following packages
{{{
sudo apt-get install python-m2crypto python-dateutil \
                     python-openssl libxmlsec1 xmlsec1 \
                     libxmlsec1-openssl libxmlsec1-dev
}}}

Download release gcf1.3 from http://www.gpolab.bbn.com/local-sw/ under /usr/local/geni/ and untar it. 
{{{
tar xvfz gcf-1.3.tar.gz
\rm gcf-1.3.tar.gz
ln -s gcf-1.3/ gcf
}}}

Added in the end of the .profile and the .bashrc file of the GENI user these lines:
{{{
# set PATH so it includes geni software if it exists
if [ -d "/usr/local/bin/gcf/src" ] ; then
    PATH="/usr/local/bin/gcf/src:/usr/local/bin/gcf/examples:$PATH"
    export PYTHONPATH="/usr/local/bin/gcf/src:$PYTHONPATH" 
fi
}}}

== Other changes ==
In my effort to add a security exception for the bbn pgeni site in chrome I also added:
{{{
sudo apt-get install libnss3-tools
}}}
